FWIW, I understand GTalk has added conferencing -- you'd all be on the same IM chat, if typed conversation is what you like. For cheap voice, I dunno.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There was a piece of online software being used in the revision of the cheesebutt page, but I can't remember offhand what it was.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Campfire is excellent; I've also heard good things of Zoho Project (haven't used it, but I like a lot of their other tools.)

Has anyone had the touch wheel on their iPod fail?
Resetting the iPod might help. Try moving the lock switch to locked, then back to unlocked, then holding down menu and the center button for five seconds or so. The screen will flash and then the iPod will spend a while rebooting.

I tried to reboot last night, but the sweet spot where the click wheel works for play/pause is so small I couldn't get it to work. It was making the iPod play music at high speed, though. I tried again just now, and the iPod shut down as if it was going to reboot, and I held it down for at least 10 seconds, but as soon as I lifted my fingers from the buttons, it would just pop back on where it was playing before.
It's now frozen in the on position and still won't reboot. I think I may have to wait for the battery to run down and try again.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Sox, the Google suite of applications has the conferencing feature, as well as real-time editing of Google Docs and Google Spreadsheet. There's another online application that does something similar to Google Docs but is a bit more developed--I'll have to remember the name. That is, if you want your docs to be edited in real-time online.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
On paper it would appear that we could get more channels for less money if we switched to DirecTV from Time Warner Cable. Does anybody know of a reason not to do this?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
With DirectTV, will you get local stations (e.g. ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CW, etc)? Or will you also need to subscribe to basic basic cable to get those channels?
